- Non- Invasive Video EEG Tests: Non-Invasive EEG uses a set of electrodes placed on the scalp in diagnosing the neurological condition of the patient.
- High-speed CT imaging: The CT scan can quickly provide a 3D view of all indications.
- High Definition MRI, 4D CT scan imaging has been widely adopted as an important clinical modality for neurological applications.
